Katiebabs & KristieJ talk books

Before we begin - and you will also know which book we are discussing this time, I direct you to the newest Quester.

Yep, Anna of Anna's Book Blog has her thoughts on Broken Wing posted. Be sure to check them out.

AND: Leslie of Leslie's Psyche emailed me to tell me about a great interview Judith James did at a blog I've never noticed before - but have now :) You can find it at Yankee Romance Reviewers - and just so you know - they are having a contest for the book!!

And before I start - this is going to be a two-parter for two reasons - one) because it's just so long and two) well - you will see at the end :)

KristieJ: So *g* speaking of books - this brings me to ............. Broken Wing! What did you think of it?KatieBabs: I thought it was pretty good, really enjoyed it and adore GabrielKristieJ: Pretty good - Katie - you're a tough sellKatieBabs: I felt James put a little too much torturing to the point of me going, oh my god, what more can she do? But I loved Gabriel and Sarah's romanceKristieJ: LOL - I didn't think she did nearly the torturing as some authors - Sherrilyn Kenyon for example - but I agree with you - Gabriel and Sarah's romance was so very sweet - but not in a treacly sweet way. More in a touching wayKatieBabs: the kissing!KristieJ: They were both - but especially Gabriel - were so innocent. LOL - I know you really enjoyed the kissing. I thought it very tender too - that's why in my review I said he was virginal. Because he was when it came to that aspectPause(at this point I should point out that there were a number of pauses before Katie got back to 'chat')KristieJ: hellllloooooKatieBabs: oops sorry was watching my man on CSI. Grissom droolKristieJ: Grisom?KatieBabs: William Peterson. Judith James almost writes like Robin Schone but not as erotic, well it was sexy but not omg they did what??KristieJ: I started a Robin Schone book after I put this one on the shelf but it didn't seem to have the same kind of - I guess poignancy is the wordKatieBabs: Schone's books are hard to get through. What is the word about them?KristieJ: LOL - I don't know, I've never read any of themKatieBabs: they are very dark sexually, tortured menKristieJ: What did you think of the second part of the book - the part with Gabriel's journey?KatieBabs: I thought it was very interesting, but a bit rushed. I would have loved Sarah to go find him. Could you imagine that?

*****SPOILER HERE SO I HID IT*****

KristieJ: She did go to find him. She found him in London. He was even more lost thenKatieBabs:No, I mean search for him way out...I was so happy Gabriel didn't ho aroundKristieJ:I was too. I thought it very clever of him - the story he usedKatieBabs: I liked his buddyKristieJ: He was good wasn't he? So savoir faire (probably spelled wrong) not matter what the situationKatieBabs: very slyKristieJ: And quite the hound - that one scene Gabriel walked in on *chuckle*KatieBabs: heh hehKatieBabs: I am going to go to bed, snooze time

At this point I confess to a bit of confusion

KristieJ: yea - I think I will tooKatieBabs: but we should do an AIM chat for Broken Wing

(pause while I scratched my head)

KristieJ: well ....... - I thought we were.KatieBabs: oh! ...... lolKristieJ: I think I'll catch the tail end of ER - Apparently it's Abby’s last nightKatieBabs: I will be in bed dreaming of the days of George on ERKristieJ: And Luca for me. Before there was RICHard - there was LucaKatieBabs: Luca!!KristieJ: I'll save what we have and maybe we will try another timeKatieBabs: this weekend?KristieJ: I have to work Saturday and then I'm going to a surprise birthday panama party after that - but I'll be around on Sunday after I get homeKatieBabs: will see on Sunday thenKristieJ: Oakely dokely. Night for tonightKatieBabs: sleep tight

So - no need to comment on Broken Wing because we did indeed 'chat' about it on Sunday where we get much more into it. That post will be up soon.

However - feel free to comment on Grissom - since *laughing* he obviously was more on Katie's mind. Or who you like better - George Clooney as Dr. Doug Ross or Goran Visnjic as Dr. Luca Kova.

ROTFL!!!!!!! I'm never going to live that down with my friends. But they ARE comfortable socks though aren't they? Until you get the balls of fluff at the toes. Just don't 'empty' them at a friends when you've had a few drinks and are feeling nice and relxed *still chuckling that you're wearing them too*

Clooney, Clooney, Clooney!! Sorry ladies, but I've never been a fan of Luca/Goran.

Oh, and Noah Wylie may have been wet behind the ears when he first started playing Carter, but can I just say that by the time he left, he'd matured into "I'd do him" status?

Come to think of it, once Wylie and Clooney left, I don't think I've watched it more than a handful of times since.

And, can I also just say that there's something about the Grissam/Sara boinking that just squicks me the hell out? I just can't picture them in the throes of passion with each other! Alright, MAYBE I could see Gil and Mistress whatshername going at it because there would be some detachment there, but otherwise, nu-uh- I like my Grissam to be asexually sexy.
